Prince Harry Wants Best Of Both

I was kind of hoping that once Prince Harry and his family moved away, we wouldn't have to keep hearing about him but he is back in the news again bemoaning his lack of privacy, whilst giving an interview on board a Double Decker bus driving around Los Angeles.
I would be the first to admit that some of the British Press is less than honourable, the tabloid press are still settling lawsuits and paying out millions for hacking celebrities phones which shows just how heinouis they can be and the coverage of Meghan Markle from some of the right wing was outright racist, despite how much they try to deny it.
Harry therefore has a legitimate claim against some of the Press but the rub is that while condemning them, the couple also courted them for their projects such as the Invictus Games and it is a very taut tightrope to try and walk if you are complaining about the coverage of the press while simultaneously craving the publicity from the same people.
What it says to me is that Prince Harry and his wife only want the 'right type' of publicity, none of the awkward questions which the likes of James Corden and Oprah Winfrey will certainly not throw their way so either step back from the spotlight entirely or take the publicity and good and bad from the the double edged sword of press coverage.
